EPL: Liverpool defeats Brighton to go top, as Arsenal, Man City play goalless draw

In a thrilling weekend of English Premier League (EPL) action, Liverpool emerged as the big winners as they secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Brighton, propelling them to the top of the league table.

Meanwhile, Arsenal and Manchester City played out a goalless draw that saw both teams fall behind in the title race.

Liverpool faced an early setback as they conceded a stunning goal to Danny Welbeck just 85 seconds into the match at Anfield. However, they quickly regrouped, with Luis Diaz restoring parity later in the first half.

The defining moment came in the second half when Mohamed Salah netted his 22nd goal of the season to seal the victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

With this win, Liverpool now sit at the summit of the Premier League table, two points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who were held to a goalless draw by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The draw saw both teams drop crucial points in the title race, allowing Liverpool to seize the top spot.

For Liverpool, the victory was a testament to their resilience and determination to secure a record-equalling 20th English title in Klopp’s final season at the helm.

Unbeaten in their last six league matches and boasting an impressive unbeaten home record, Liverpool remain firmly in contention for the championship.

In contrast, Manchester City’s failure to find a breakthrough against Arsenal means they are still yet to defeat any of the top five teams in the Premier League this season. The draw leaves them trailing behind Liverpool and Arsenal in the title race, requiring favors from their rivals in the remaining fixtures.

Overall, the weekend’s results have set the stage for an exciting conclusion to the Premier League season, with Liverpool now leading the pack as they seek to clinch the coveted title.

As the battle for supremacy intensifies, fans can expect more twists and turns in the thrilling race for the championship.
